PROSTATE HEALTH

All men are at risk for prostate problems. That's because all men have a prostate.

There are THREE (3)
MOST COMMON PROSTATE PROBLEMS men are may be pre-disposed to.

1. BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (BPH).

BPH, also known as an enlarged prostate, is growth of the prostate gland to an unhealthy size. A man's chances of having BPH go up with age:

Age 31-40: one in 12
Age 51-60: about one in two
Over age 80: more than eight in 10.

However, only about half of men ever have BPH symptoms that need treatment. BPH does not lead to prostate cancer, although both are common in older men.

The Prostate and Its Symptoms
The prostate is a walnut-sized gland found only in men. It sits just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine through the penis. The prostate's job is to make fluid for semen.

The prostate grows naturally with age, usually without problems. In some men, the enlarged prostate compresses the urethra, making urination difficult and causing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH symptoms include:

* Urinating frequently, especially at night
* Difficulty getting a urine stream going
* Feeling as if you are unable to get all the urine out

2. PROSTATITIS.

Unlike most prostate problems, prostatitis -- inflammation or an infection of the prostate -- occurs more often in young and middle-aged men. Only 5% to 10% of men develop prostatitis in their lifetime.

Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate, often caused by bacteria. Think of prostatitis as a type of men's urinary tract infection. Prostate infection is rarely serious, but if you have symptoms of prostatitis, see your doctor. Possible symptoms include:

Pain urinating or ejaculating
Fever and chills
Pelvic pain
Needing to urinate more often
Cloudy urine.

3. PROSTATE CANCER.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men (besides skin cancer). About one man in six will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Let's keep these numbers in perspective, though. Because prostate cancer is usually slow growing, only about one in 35 men will die of prostate cancer.

Like BPH, the risk for prostate cancer increases with age. About two out of every three men with prostate cancer are over 65. No one knows exactly what causes prostate cancer, but risk factors associated with it include:

Family history. Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles your risk.
Race. African-American men are more likely to get prostate cancer than Caucasians, and the cancer is usually more advanced when discovered.
National Cancer Institute
African-American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer usually begin prostate cancer screening at an earlier age than Caucasian men who do not have prostate cancer in their family history.

Prostate cancer often has no symptoms. It is often discovered after screening with a lab test called prostate specific antigen (PSA). Occasionally, prostate cancer can cause obstruction of urine flow, like BPH. This symptom usually suggests more advanced prostate cancer.

Good News: Swissgarde 40 plus for men contains Saw palmetto. Defender (an anti - inflammatory) contains Garlic, Grape seed extract & other antioxidant. Aloe power contains Sutherlandia, Ginseng & Green tea (anti -cancer agents)

I recommend 40 plus for men, Defender capsules & Aloe power for the prevention & treatment of BPH, Prostatitis and Prostate Cancer.for enquire contact or WhatsApp 08131139630/08092773304 or email at eberebernard@gmail.com
